Apple continues to sell the entry-level version of this preceding model. Compare that with the previous 21.5-inch iMac, which is 17.7 by 20.8 by 6.9 inches and weighs 12 pounds. Including the stand, which offers tilt but not height adjustments, the 24-inch iMac measures 18.1 by 21.5 by 5.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 9.83 pounds. It even beats the 0.48-inch thickness of the iPhone 3GS.

This is thinner than Mac laptops like the Apple MacBook Air and the Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch. Not including the stand’s depth, the screen portion of the iMac is an incredible 0.44 inch thick. Even more impressive, it’s tiny by phone and laptop standards. This is a truly tiny AIO by the standards of previous iMacs. This is taking the Steve Jobs fence-repair parable (Opens in a new window) to the extreme: Even if it will likely be hidden from view, the design still needs to match the rest of the device.īesides color, size is the iMac’s other main physical feature.

No other all-in-one PC I’ve seen in the past few years has such consistent colorways. Even the iMac’s power cord and the USB-C-to-Lightning cable used to charge the wireless peripherals are made from a woven, color-matched material. The Magic Mouse, the Magic Keyboard, and the optional Magic Trackpad have color-matched aluminum sides and surfaces that match the design of the new iMac. Your color choice also extends to the peripherals and cables. There were a whopping 13 color options on the iMacs of the late 1990s (Blue Dalmatian and Flower Power among the lesser-known ones), with keyboards and mice to match. Available in seven tones, the new PC is a throwback to the whimsy of designer Jonathan Ive’s original iMac case, which came in your choice of translucent, candy-colored plastics. The new iMac’s headlining feature is color. Add in cutting-edge enhancements that Apple’s M1 silicon enables, like a fingerprint reader and immensely improved image processing, and you get an excellent iMac that could define the next 20 years of desktop computing. It wins our TechX award for redefining what is possible-and what "skinny" now means-in an all-in-one desktop. The new-for-2021 24-inch iMac (starts at $1,299 $2,028 as tested) takes the legend back to its roots, adding customizable color options that extend across the physical surfaces of the computer and its accessories. Now, Apple is trying something different. The most recognizable of all Mac desktops, its luster nevertheless diminished over the past two decades as it became less distinctive and more like its Windows competitors. The original Apple iMac, launched at the end of the last millennium, is the archetype for the modern all-in-one desktop computer.
